Abstract

An air source heat pump is an energy-saving device that utilizes a high position to allow heat to flow from a low-level heat source to a high-level heat source. However, when the ambient temperature is lower than 5 °C, frosting will occur at and around the evaporator vent and then freeze, thereby blocking the air passage of the heat absorbing device and affecting the normal operation of the host. Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, this paper designs an air source heat pump frost-free heating device, which is used to solve the problem that the existing air source heat pump is easy to frost, thereby blocking the air passage of the heat absorption device and affecting the normal operation of the host.
